Hi Ravyn! I was in Panama in late January/early February, I believe. I’m not sure what it’s like other months of the year — best of luck finding the perfect timing for your trip 🙂

In reply to Claire. I know, I am always baffled when I talk to people who DIDN'T like it. I'm like, did you go to Casco Viejo?! Ha ha. I hope I can go back someday soon...

Great post! It’s so true that Panama City is something special. My husband is a small town boy who hates just about every city we’ve ever visited and he still talks about how much he liked Panama City!! The Metropolitan Park was such a nice surprise in the middle of it all too.

Hi Alex,
We are thinking of getting married in Clayton, Panama.
Did you see any small chapels?

In reply to Biff Bomar. I'd love to go back again someday Biff! Loved the gorgeous views from Metropolitan Park, will have to check out Ancon Hill next time.

Panama City is also one of my favorite retreats. It’s allure keeps drawing me back. In addition to your suggestions I would like to suggest Ancon Hill for looking down over both the city and canal (beautiful views) and visiting Mola shops for colorful Indian wall hangings and clothing.

In reply to Ben. Well, Ben, to start, this is a post about Panama City. I also wrote extensively about more rural and naturally beautiful Panamanian destinations such as El Valle, Santa Catalina, Isla de Coiba and Boquete, if that's what you're looking for. And I also wrote a less informative, yet more editorial piece about the Casco Viejo neighborhood of Panama City, if that's what you're looking for. But even in this post about Panama City, which I loved very much, I included information about museums, cultural shows, historical ruins, as well as hiking in the jungle and biking along the sea. So frankly, I'm not quite understanding your criticism that I haven't focused on the culture and the natural environment. And I can assure you I have never copied and pasted a word of another person's writing onto this blog and called it my own.

I came across this blog and it leaves me very disappointed.You focus too much on the glitz and glamour of Panama, the concrete jungles and material wealth instead of also focusing on the people, culture, the natural environment and even some rural areas.Anyone can find all this information that you have online.Next time don’t just cut and paste what others have written about Panama and use your own words, but write something more creative with a little bit of stories from the road less traveled and think more out of the box
